Trying to Tidy Up

The surgery seemed to go well. I'm taking the word of others about it because I don't remember a thing. Anesthesia has shown tremendous improvement since the last time I had to use it-- back in 1960. One second I was on the table with someone placing a warm blanket over my top half while my doctor held my hand, and the very next second I was awake in the recovery room wondering when they were going to get the show on the road. No being woozy, no being nauseous. Whatever that sedative was, I think it's wonderful.

Now I'm waiting for the results from the latest round of tests, and I have some energy. Since I have tons of books I've read in the past month or so, I'm trying my best to do a quick tidy-up and get them all reviewed.

Hopefully you won't overdose on reviews this week, but I don't want to start 2011 with this shelf of unreviewed books staring balefully at me. I hate it when they do that!

Cathy, I'm so glad that you are improving and that the surgery went well. I concur about anesthesia these days. The first time I had major surgery (mid '90's), I was so sick afterward. When I had surgery 2-1/2 years ago, the doctor gave something that really, really helped with my nausea. It was amazing to wake up and not feel so sick at my stomach. I've been thinking of you a lot. Big hugs!!

Glad to hear you are doing well so far Cathy (and yes anaesthetics has come a looooong way). At least if I overdose on reviews I won't need to work it off with exercise like I do the seasonal over eating :)

Looking for something?

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! I'm addicted to books (especially crime fiction), laughter and traveling off the beaten path.
